Registering, Dresses, Etc.

Paul and I had our first pre-marital counseling session last Wednesday. It was really fun! I like getting to tell our story and why I love and want to marry Paul!
Paul and I finished (I think) registering this weekend! We're now registered at Dillard's, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Pottery Barn. I've had so much fun registering with my husband to be! We've had to compromise on a few items, but for the most part we have the same taste and easily agree on things.
And...I FOUND A DRESS! And bought it! It's definitely not what I had imagined. Much better. :) Also, found bridesmaids dresses. God has blessed me with the sweetest and most helpful bridesmaids! And they all looked beautiful trying on their dresses!
We had a shrimp boil for Jason Embler's birthday on Saturday night. Lots of fun.
Oh, and both of my roommates moved out yesterday! Anyone up for helping me pack/move?

sign our guestbook!

June 2, 2007

is when I become Mrs. Paul Anson Wilson. Oh yeah.

I'm engaged! part 2

Sorry the details are so late coming! But here they are...
So as you know, Paul told me he had a surprise for me on Saturday. He picked me up around 10:30 and we headed towards Easley. By this time, I knew we were going on a picnic. But that was not all! We ended up in Dacusville at Eden Farms. I was so excited because I love horses (used to show and own them) and I had not ridden in such a long time! So now I knew we were going on a trail ride AND have a picnic lunch! It was just the two of us plus the guide on our ride. We rode around for about an hour and then we went to an area where we were met by two other riders with our lunch that Paul had packed. They all left, so it was just the two of us. At this point I started getting suspicious so I couldn't really eat much. :) Well, when we were finished eating Paul started to tell me all the reasons he wanted me to be his wife one day, and then he got on one knee and proposed! I of course said YES!!! It was such a beautiful day, in between two days where it POURED! All God. It's been all God throughout our whole relationship, which is so encouraging. My ring is absolutely stunning. I had the biggest smile for the rest of the ride after that! It keeps getting better...We went back to Greenville to Paul's parents' house and showered. Then we went to downtown Greenville for my birthday (and engagement celebration as it turns out :) ) dinner at Lemongrass. I was so amazed...there were like 30 people there! 30 of my closest friends and family. It was perfect. Perfect day, perfect fiance', perfect ring, perfect dinner...
This has really amplified all that God has done in my life over the past 2(almost) years. He has blessed me more than I will ever deserve.
All in all, I get to marry my best friend and spend the rest of my life with him, loving him and learning how to be a Godly wife. I can't wait!

I'm engaged!!!

Paul asked me to marry him today and I'm indescribably happy. Details to come...

27

Yesterday was my birthday...I turned 27. I have to say that it was an awesome birthday, even though it was my first real day back at work, and I am feeling pretty old. God has blessed me with the most amazing boyfriend, friends, co-workers, and family. I got so many calls, text messages, cards, and emails wishing me a happy birthday! Paul, best boyfriend ever btw, came and ate lunch with me at school (with beautiful FLOWERS)...he even brought me Zaxby's, complete with my favorite, fried mushrooms! Definitely made my first day back wonderful! We went out to eat that night at Sullivan's. Unfortunately, Paul IS being VERY cruel and making me wait until Saturday for my present! I'm dying! And I believe he's loving every second of my suspense!!! :)
Thanks for the great birthday everyone!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2007. I had a pretty awesome 2006, and I'm really looking forward to 2007! Today I turn 27, so I officially feel OLD. :) Old, but verrrry happy!
